Attention attendees: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Virginia Department of Health recommend both masking and physical distancing in all indoor settings when the community is in a high transmission period, regardless of an individual’s vaccination status. Currently, Virginia Beach is a high transmission area. Therefore, School Board meetings will require all attendees and participants to wear face coverings (unless an approved exemption has been received by the School Board Clerk) and to maintain physical distancing.
Seating in School Board Chambers will be restricted based on 6-foot distancing between seats. Open seats will be marked for use. If no seats are available within Chambers, attendees may watch via TV Channel 47, Zoom or livestream, or they may wait outside the School Administration Building until seats are available. Based on appropriate social distancing, a limited number of speakers who are signed up may be accommodated in the hallway outside of Chambers and will await their turn to address the Board. After speaking, they may sit in an identified open seat. If none exists, they must exit the building.
